SAN DIEGO, CA, December 3, 2020—Beam
Global<https://BeamForAll.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f839de53bc1380c1b0e3134d2&id=0e5de9d452&e=c8c08f0714>,
(Nasdaq:
BEEM<https://BeamForAll.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f839de53bc1380c1b0e3134d2&id=88e38c9d4b&e=c8c08f0714>,
BEEMW), the leading provider of innovative sustainable technology for electric
vehicle (EV) charging, outdoor media and energy security, announced that the US
Patent and Trademarks Office has issued US Patent No: 10,843,819, covering the
UAV ARC™ Drone Recharging Network, Beam’s renewably energized, networked drone
recharging solution, which provides en route charging for unmanned aerial
vehicles.
UAV ARC™ terminals, which are now patented and currently in development, will
provide a rapidly deployed drone recharging network. Each UAV ARC™ unit can be
delivered and commissioned without permitting, construction or electrical work.
A UAV ARC™ network is intended to provide a range-extending source of battery
recharging for drones that would otherwise be limited by range or payload
restrictions. The ability to recharge on a network of UAV ARC™ products
deployed on rooftops in built up areas, undeveloped regions or at sea
(marinized version) should dramatically increase the potential range and
utility of UAVs. Each UAV ARC™ unit generates and stores all its power from
renewable sources so drones will receive clean renewable electricity with no
cost-per-unit of energy. The units are completely independent from the power
grid, allowing them to provide charging during grid outages and in remote
locations.
The UAV ARC™ network is capable of gathering data on the drones’
state-of-health while they are recharging. Beam Global intends to make the data
and recharging available to a variety of drone operators under various business
models which could include subscriptions, pay per use or ownership.
Beam anticipates adoption from both commercial and military customers as drones
play an increasing role in package delivery and situational awareness. Business
Insider Intelligence predicts global drone shipments to reach 2.4 million units
in 2023 increasing at a 66% compound annual growth rate. Drone growth will
occur across package delivery, agriculture, construction and mining, insurance,
media and telecommunications and a variety of military applications.
Amazon plans to use drones to deliver customers' orders within 30 minutes
through its Prime Air delivery program. Google-parent Alphabet's Wing is a
drone delivery service in partnership with FedEx and Walgreens through which it
delivers select FedEx packages and over-the-counter medicines from Walgreens.
Recently, the Department of Defense awarded contracts totaling $13.4 million to
five companies to sustain the capabilities of the domestic small unmanned
aerial system (sUAS) industrial base. This was part of a wider spend on the
part of the US Government, which saw $84 million pumped into the drone, space
tech and shipbuilding industries.
“This latest patented product will enable us to approach what we believe will
be a significant market in the future. A barrier to the growth in adoption of
drones is their limited range capabilities,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond
Wheatley. “I believe that UAV ARC™ will provide a charging solution which
greatly extends their range and capabilities. And it will provide a data
gathering and recurring revenue model that is consistent with Beam’s mission to
provide clean mobility for all through profitable business models at the
intersection of clean energy and transportation.”
“Patents must address two requirements before we will invest in pursuing them,”
continued Mr. Wheatley. “They must cover a product we believe has market demand
that we can monetize, and they must create a significant barrier to entry for
the competition. To date, all but our new and recent patents for the UAV ARC
and EV Standard, which are both in development, cover products that we have
sold and for which the demand is increasing. I intend to maintain this
discipline around IP creation and protection, and I believe that the UAV ARC™
will be another great example of that discipline at work.”
